Warriors, Kerr on verge of new contract

The Thunder didn't make the same mistake again, agreeing to terms with Paul George on a stunning four-year deal when free agency officially opened.

Last week, Anthony opted into the final year of his contract, worth $27.9 million.

That would effectively end the rumor that LeBron James and Kevin Durant were going to team up in Los Angeles to play for the Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers have a new superstar.

George was actually in town Saturday night, as star teammate Russell Westbrook reportedly threw a big party.

George, who would have been among the top prizes available in free agency, was traded to the Thunder last summer from the Indiana Pacers, giving Oklahoma City a season to try to work out a longer-term relationship.

The Denver Nuggets signed two key players. The contract will keep a Warriors team together that obliterated just about everyone in 2017-18 en route to their third National Basketball Association championship in four years.

The reality, of course, beats the alternative, but one could argue that instead of treading water, the Rocketstook a step backward by losing Ariza, and there's no obvious way to replace his impact going into next season. At 33 years old, Ariza will be a good mentor to an up and coming team in the Phoenix Suns.

Durant will have a player option in Year 2 of the deal. Durant won the Finals MVP award by a 7-4 vote over Stephen Curry, as determined by a select panel of Warriors and Cavaliers beat writers as well as national NBA writers and broadcasters. Durant is looking to be the the best player in the world.

According to multiple reports, Paul has agreed a lucrative four-year max salary deal with the Rockets, worth $160million. Not only do they get to keep the 2017 and 2018 NBA Finals MVP, but they also get some financial flexibility in the deal.

Down in Houston, Paul has told Rockets fans the same thing.

James' agency made the announcement in a release, saying he has agreed to a four-year, $154 million contract. That time period will also coincide for when Warriors guard Klay Thompson becomes an unrestricted free agent. This time, it won't happen.
